Steroid injection strengths

Last week I went into the most awful flare I have ever had. I went to the hospital yesterday and was given a 16 strength steroid injection in the bum. I have had them before but never known the strength I have been given. Does anyone know please how strong a 16 is in the scheme of things?Thanks

And what unit is being used. Mine are done by volume, so get between 80ml and 180ml.
